Ugh

This was told via all POVs of Vanessa and all the brothers. But even with this I couldn't connect with any of the characters. I had to trudge through and force myself to finish this story.

This is a reverse harem book so if you don't like multiple men and one woman then this is not the book for you. Five brothers that decide to have just one woman to share instead of bringing multiple into their lives and home makes sense to them. When they meet Vanessa they think they finally have met the one. Vanessa is a sweet girl that has been moving around America with her parents and all she wants is to settle down. When she meets the brothers she feels like she has finally found a place to relax. I really enjoyed this story and the characters. I voluntarily read an advance reader copy for my honest review.

Ok, I loved this book even though the story line was a little hard to believe but lets be honest, I doubt anyone chose this book because they were looking for a for anything resembling a novel. I know what I chose was the Reverse Harem storyline and I was not disappointed. All that being said, I found all the characters likable and wish instead of Lola that I had been the one to get lost on their mountain. Who doesn't want to have five extremely handsome, well built, protective and polite men devoted to your pleasure and well being? Me! Me! Me! Please choose Me! This was a quick and very enjoyable read and I can't wait to read other Reverse Harem stories by Jess Bentley.

I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest and totally voluntary review.

When a story feels like it jumps into the middle with no explanation of why five brothers want only one woman to share and her them.... yeah, that's how I felt.

I DNF around the 50% mark. It might have picked up, but I wasn't invested at this point. And I was looking forward to this trope.

I really enjoyed reading this book. It was not just a book with sex flying every where it had a wonderful heart warming plot to it. I love how it showed the personnel growth of the Vanessa the lead character in the story. I also liked how each chapter; sometimes the same character but mostly not gave their different perspective and their feeling at the time.
Vanessa grew up with a different childhood than most. Her parents made documentary wildlife films and the traveled about the country not staying in one place very long before going to the next assignment. That is until Vanessa was told she was going to college and spent the last two years in a small dormitory room. At 22 she was coming home to spend the summer with her parents at a house they had rented out. She was thrilled to be able to have an actual home to go to for a change, having space to move, along with know she was making plans for her life.

She wasn't there two day until her parents announced that they were going to Wyoming for a new documentary and they expected her to go as well. In this time she had met Tim, and Tom, and soon Stan as he heard Vanessa and her father arguing, in the woods. She was furious, she was not going any where with them or her parents, she wanted a life of her own, and a place to settle down for a while. Stan gave her that place by offering a small cabin they had on their land for her to stay in exchange for working on their farm.

Relationship grew from then on between the five brothers. It is a wonderful book of a woman coming into herself just with some extra men in her life than the usual one guy. There were places I was laughing so hard I couldn't see the words on the pages any more. This is really a great book and I would encourage any one to read it.

You're in for a really fun read with this latest book by Jess Bentley! Vanessa's parents have just rented a house beside an apple orchard run by five gorgeous brothers and they all want Vanessa. Now Vanessa is a lovely young woman who knows what she wants and when she sees the five brothers she is slightly perturbed that she wants them all. From the oldest, Stan, who is always in charge to hank who is the shy one, then you have the quirky twins Tom and Tim and lastly Charlie the youngest who is everything she could ever want. This is like a reverse harem that has loads of humour and romance as well as lust, passion and love. But who will Vanessa choose? Or does she even have to choose? This is a rollicking read that is an "adventure" in lust and love. I really enjoyed this book By Jess Bentley and encourage you to try it. If, like me, you are a fan of Jess's stories then you will know what a terrific author she is with an easy writing style and she makes the characters come alive and seem so real as if you could almost know them.If this is the first book that you've read by Jess then I hope you enjoy it as much as I do and you have all her other books which are wonderful too to read afterwards. I received an arc of this book and voluntarily leave my honest review of it here.
DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED.

Jess had written another awesome book. Loved it.
Vanessa is just home from college for the summer, or so her parents think, and they are moving into a new house until their parents get a new assignment. She meets the twins from next door the first day at dinner and OMG what they do to her at the dinner table with her parents and the other neighbor couple at the other end of the table. Then the oldest brother comes over the next morning and he is also enchanted by her. He invites her to dinner. The other two brothers are also lusting for her then but one is holding back. They have all agreed a long time ago that they would only be in a relationship if was all of them together. Vanessa has never really had a home as her parents were always following the next assignment so they never stayed anywhere very long. She finally sees an opportunity to set down roots here and makes it known to her parents that is what she is going to do. What will happen when they come back a month later and tell her they are going on assignment in China and want her to go with? Will she stay with the guys here and let them know that she wants to stay with them forever? Do the guys decide if they are going to move to Germany and let her know they want her to go with them? Can they make it work with just her and the five of them?

A Good Book!

I liked reading One Bride for Five Brothers. All about Vanessa a young girl in her, early twenties and The five Braden brothers. Vanessa is staying with her parents who just moved into a rental house. Her parents are naturalist film documentaries and they move when the animals move or when they get a phone call to tell them a certain animal is doing something special. While her parents are traveling the world Vanessa goes to college, but she has yet to pick a major leaning toward business. They rented the house from the five farmers named Braden up the road, who have an orchard and a winery. The author wrote an interesting story about a young girl who becomes infatuated with the farm business and farmers attached to said business. Read this story and fall in love with the five farmers. The second book included in this is called Sext God all about a young girl named Dahalia who works for a Security Firm and her fathers BFF August Brenner who owns a rival Security Firm. Both have a crush on the other and neither knows the other is infatuated! Also a good book to read,

Fun RH love story

Enjoyable story of a young girl trying to find her way in life. She wasn't happy with her chosen course in college and doesn't plan to return. But her parents are basically gypsies, photo journalists, who travel all over the US. Vanessa doesn't really want to follow them anymore either.
Their latest residence is a farm in Pennsylvania with five sexy brothers who won the whole farm. When they offer to let her stay and work for them, Vanessa jumps at the chance to settle down - especially wit five hot guys looking after her and flirting with her. So Vanessa makes some quite unconventional choices at to what to do with her new-found freedom.
It was a well written book, although the relationships seemed to move at lightening speed, especially given her lack of prior experience. But I enjoyed Vanessa and the Braden brothers' story.
The "bonus" story's didn't really catch my attention quite as much though. Could have fine without them.

I enjoyed the latest from Jess Bentley. The brothers; Stan, Charlie, Hank, Tom and Tim; decided the way to keep them as close as they have been was to find the one woman who will accept them all as a package deal. Enter Vanessa and her family moving in to one of their family houses to rent. When these 5 brothers meet her they will find what could be the woman they have been waiting for. With a bad past experience Hank will be a little more weary than the others, but once in he will go all in. The men will give Vanessa the world and in return she will give the men the togetherness that they had hoped to keep. I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.

This is steamy, amusing and sweet. Vanessa starts as a shy, obedient girl, then she meets the brothers, and gets rebellious. She refuses to do what her parents want her to do, which is to move to China, and decides that she's staying where she is. She's tired of moving and she's wants to see what will happen with all of the brothers. The brothers are all charming and entertaining, each has their own quirky personality and all treat Vanessa like she's precious. I really liked the storyline and the characters.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author. This is my honest and voluntary opinion of it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The story was great, and very well written. Though it could she been edited better as there were a few typos and a few words missing in some sentences but nothing major.

I just guess “reverse harem” stories (one girl with more than one guy) is really not my cup of tea. I also wish Vanessa didn’t drop out of college. It always makes me sad when people do this. She could have changed her major or did some classes online to get a degree. I think education is important.

Having said that, the five brothers were wonderful. It’s hard to play favourites because they were all unique. Though I think Tim and Tom, the twins, were the most entertaining with all their antiques.

Jess Bentley's writing always rocks my world. And this reverse harem love story is no exeption.

This is a sweet and entertaining read filled with steamy scenes to make you hot and bothered. I like how the author writes everyone point of view, it heightens the experience for the reader.

If you enjoy your read with a strong beautiful young virgin and five handsome sexy farmer brothers with big hearts, then you'll get a kick out of this one.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Readers Copy of this book. And I enjoyed the story immensely.

These five brothers run an apple orchard, and Vanessa’s parents rent the house next door. Vanessa is confused and cannot understand why she would feel such an attraction to all five brothers. No spoilers; this is a must read, you will not be disappointed!
This is a fast paced, well written storyline, which is sweet, humorous, romantic and a hot read. I was hooked from the very beginning, and I highly recommend this authors’ work for all readers.

Interesting farm boy RH. The mom character was weird and the dad character was annoying. (Mostly because he seemed to have a problem with his GROWN daughter having her own life and making her own decisions, and yet it was never explained why he was like that. There was no reason for it.)

It also surprised me that the MC kept getting so happy that she was in a place where her harem's family had been for over a hundred years, but they kept moving towards selling and moving out of the country. That was odd to me.

DNF at 30%. There isn't anything inherently wrong with this book, it just wasn't my taste. It's a fast burn (sexy stuff happens in the first chapter), it has a "perfect" heroine, and it's a total fantasy land, throw all sense of reality out the window, kind of book. There's no real drama or tension, and I could see everything coming from a mile away. These books are totally fine to enjoy, but I find them boring and not worth reading all the way. If you like books like what I just described, then I recommend this since the writing is pretty good.

I am a big fan of JB and this book keeps me going. Five brothers looking for more than running a successful company. One innocent woman looking for something more than moving from place to place with her parents. Great story!! You see things from different points of view, not just the leading lady (; I love knowing what everyone is thinking/feeling!

lol ew.

Boring sex, little to no character development, a ridiculous amount of typos (ffs, there is one on the first page…..) and I just can’t.

I enjoy the reverse harem trope and I’m willing to accept adult reads with a shaky plot if the sex is good. The intimacy between characters here is worse than a one star literotica story. Who knew a six person sex scene could be so blah?

And the unforgivable moment when it is revealed that she has named her twins Earl and Bella? Just. No.

This is a nice reverse harem read, as much as I enjoyed it I did not get the feels for it. There is plenty of sex, a nice storyline and nice characters but there was no real sense of feelings, chemistry and it did not draw me into the story

A nice read with plenty of bonus content, I am afraid it just did not wow me

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. I really enjoyed this book. The characters were well written and had a lot of chemistry. I was hooked from the very beginning Amazing story and wonderful writing! All characters are three-dimensional and believable. The storyline is intense, it's gripping in the best sense of the word. This book is great, a must-read.

Lola has had it with men they say one thing but really they mean something else. When she wakes from the accident she has she gets more than she bargained for, not just one handsome man to make her feel special but 5. They save her and in return she saves them, this touching story is really very hot in places so keep a fan handy.

This is a reverse harem book about five brothers. If they can finf one bride for them all then they don’t have to split their inheritage.
It is a great story that pulled me in from the start.
The book is fast-paced, the writing is fluid and easily read in one sitting. It is a standalone book with no cliffhangers.

3.5 Ok read. A little fast paced. No mention of love. Just an arrangement. Vanessa meets five brothers and falls into a menage with them even though she was innocent before meeting them takes them all the first night kinda unbelievable. Even when they do anal no lube some spit? But could be a really good story if some time was given to let them develop.

Sweet and sexy

Jess Bentley has given us a story that is simultaneously sweet and hot. Give brothers living and working together yearning for that perfect woman to share. Along comes a young virgin to fill that position, and that's just the beginning of one extremely sweet book.

Sweet and touching!

This was an usual story with heart. The five Braden brothers are too good to be true. If only men like that exists in real life. Vanessa, was a very lucky woman, to snag all five. To have all those gorgeous men worship you in such a pure living way, is truly unbelievable. I like this sweet unrealistic story. If only life could be so sweet.
